A friend of mine just buy a shih tzu. Her name is Laizy. Well it's because she's just so lazy, she's not active at all. I'm afraid that shih tzu is just too old, or probably will die soon. Hope that's not going to happen... My friend will be very sad... Anyway, how old can shih tzu live? Is it more than 10 years?

as a general rule, smaller dogs live longer. shih tzus can live up to 10-20 years depending on the care it was given. but at this point it will be just sad cause they're really weak already and have blindness. my friend's shih tzu reached this age. and the poor dog kept bumping herself into doors and walls.
